Nighttime PVD Cocktail Bar & Mini LGBTQIA+ Bar Stroll Downtown
Details
Hey everyone! This event is going to cover a little bit territory. Our first stop is located near Farm Fresh on Sims avenue. Then we'll regroup in the heart of downtown to check out some of the city's best LGBTQIA+ bars. If you prefer to just catch one half of the event, check out the details for a rough timeline. If you join us for both, you may need to call a ride share or move your car for the second half since it may be a bit of a hike in the cold.
Also goes without saying, but this is not an LGBTQIA+ only event. Just a fun theme for the second half of the night :)
TLDR Notes: We'll stay at Nighttime until roughly 9:00pm. Then we'll regroup downtown at either Stable, Alleycat, or Dark Lady (all within roughly a block of one another). Likely around 9:30 to give time to organize rides. If you're just joining for the bars later in the night, check the comments on the day on which we will go first. If you do choose to walk, it's roughly 30 minutes. (Please be careful and dress for the weather - we recommend calling for a ride just to be safe)
Nighttime PVD is the newest addition to Providence's thriving craft cocktail scene. Sharing the same space as Whisk Me Away, Nighttime PVD offers a promising selection of elevated drinks at a great price. The owner is a well known bartender from EGO Nightclub, and is a friend of the meetup. Some of us were even invited to their soft opening, and we can attest it's certainly worth the visit. The cocktails are fun/experimental like their "House Salad" with feta cheese fat washed gin, tomato powder, and midori. However there's also plenty of less adventitious drinks like their night time daiquiri and their sage against the machine (sage infused bourbon old fashioned with orange syrup).
Since it's also in bakery Nighttime also has cake by the slice, chocolate chip cookies, and cookie dough truffles we can enjoy with our drinks.
After we've enjoyed a few cocktails, we'll regroup downtown. Google says the walk is about half an hour if you want to hoof it but our plan is take a ride share downtown and have us all regroup. While Nighttime is not a LGBTQ bar, since the owner is known for their times at EGO we decided to make it a theme for the night. We'll check out some of the city's best LGBTQ bars downtown such as Stable, Alleycat, and Dark Lady. We'll decide the order on the night, but typically we end at Dark Lady. They typically have a cover ($10 most nights), so we recommend having some cash just to cover the entrance fee since we won't likely stop in early enough to avoid the cover.
Please reach out to the hosts directly or leave a comment if you have any questions. Hope to see you all then!
